Fair Haven

Fair Haven is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey. In 1816, Fair Haven's first permanent settlement was built, and, during the mid-19th century, steamboats travelling from Red Bank to New York City stopped at "Chandler's Dock" in Fair Haven to bring visitors to the area and local oysters to the city. In 1887, an African Methodist Episcopal Church was built in Fair Haven to accomodate the borough's African-American population. In 2016, Fair Haven had a population of 5,976 people.
